Asia Now Drills 16.1 Meters at 2.1 g/t Gold and 15.7 Meters at 61.4 g/t Silver and 7.8% Lead and Zinc; Expands the Beiya North High-Grade Gold, Silver and Base Metal Zone to 2,160 Meters Long
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/27/11 -- Asia Now Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: NOW) reports today the assay results for 11 drill holes recently completed at its Beiya Project, one of the most prospective areas in China (see news release dated February 22, 2011). These new drill holes expand the main gold-silver and base metal zone to 2,160 meters by 150 to 700 meters; it remains open to the northwest and east. The main zone is adjacent to the open-pit Beiya Gold Mine that produces 200,000 ounces of gold annually.
Some notable intersections include: hole ZK1548 intersected 16.1 meters grading 2.1 g/t gold including 1.9 meter at 6.3 g/t gold, 1.5 meters at 6.5 g/t gold and 1.1 meters at 5.0 g/t gold; ZK5070 intersected 15.7 meters grading 61.4 g/t silver and 7.8% lead and zinc, including 3.0 meters at 155 g/t silver and 22.0% lead and zinc; ZK1853 intersected 3.8 meters grading 0.5 g/t gold, 131 g/t silver and 8.2 % lead and zinc; ZK1857 intersected 1.0 meter grading 8.6 g/t gold and 32 g/t silver.
Dr. Noel White, Chief Technical Advisor to the Company, said, "Our ongoing drilling at Beiya continues to reveal dimensions exceeding our positive expectations. We are very pleased that these new results indicate consistent high grade values along the main zone to the northwest. They will make a positive contribution to our upcoming initial NI43-101 resource estimate this fall. Our aim is to develop Beiya as fully and aggressively as possible. Once we conclude our resource estimate we want to commence a pre-feasibility study, but we will also continue to vigorously explore several new highly prospective copper-gold targets at Beiya."
In addition to the main zone, the Company has recently identified 4 new targets highly prospective for high-grade copper-gold systems in the Beiya area. Drill rigs have been mobilized to test the ground magnetic anomalies coupled with soil geochemical anomalies in favourable geological structures. IP programs are planned to define sulphide zones at depth in these targets.
Assay results of 11 drill holes with high-grade intercepts are highlighted below:
Asia Now has earned 72% with the option of increasing to 90% our interest in the Beiya North property where the Company is currently drilling. Beiya North is part of the Beiya project that involves two joint venture companies. Beiya North is part of the joint venture with Yunnan Non-Ferrous Geology and Mineral Resources Company Limited. The Company is earning 70% with the possibility of earning up to 88% interest in another joint venture with Yunnan Geology and Mineral Resources Company Limited. The Beiya project is 60 km by highway north of the city of Dali, which is a 35 minute flight from Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan. There are several daily flights, a railway and a paved highway between the two cities. The Beiya property is one of two key projects the Company is exploring in China.
SAMPLING, ASSAYING, QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALIFIED PERSON
Drill core samples were cut in halves using a diamond saw. One half of the core was sampled and assayed using a four acid (HCl/HNO3/HClO4/HF) digestion method and AAS determination for gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and iron. All the assays were completed at Intertek Testing Service Ltd (Shanghai) in accordance with international standard ISO17025. To maintain independent quality control on the laboratory, duplicate samples are submitted from 5% of sample sizes, replicate samples are submitted for 3% of samples, and the Company's internal standards are submitted for 2-3% of samples. In addition the laboratories use an extensive range of internal standards. External check assays are routinely performed on check samples submitted independently by the Company to other international laboratories (e.g., SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Sciences Co. Ltd in Tianjin).
Quality control and assurance programs are implemented in line with the standards of National Instrument 43-101, as described the independent 43-101 report filed on . Exploration and financial controls are implemented in each of the Company's exploration projects in China, as published on the website of the Company, . Exploration on all of the Company's projects is conducted under the guidance of Dr. Noel C. White, a consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Dr. White has read and approved this news release. Disclosure on mineralization on adjacent properties has not been verified by Dr. White and is not necessarily indicative of the Company's anticipated results. Where provided, potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature as the Company has not conducted sufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
